Firkin version at Barley’s 7th Annual Mini RAF (05/02/09): Pours nearly black with ruby highlights and a medium light brown head that diminishes steadily. Thin rings of lacing that slide down the glass. Light bourbon and malt in the nose. Medium body with flavors of roasted malt, bourbon and soft fruit. The finish is roasty with notes of malt and bourbon and a short hoppy aftertaste. Overall not as dry or roasty as I would have preferred for an Imperial Porter, but that is probably due to the cask aging. Decent overall.
